All right, boys, let's get into the 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:40.160 news and no. 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:46.959 News already right past wow, right off, it's it's Wednesday morning. 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.600 So you got to include yourself in his news and notes. 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:53.800 Bro, if you didn't listen to talking, that's on you quick. 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.120 I was playing ball. I was on the diamond. 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.440 I made a throw from the wall from the field 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.280 I was shooting for going home. Felled a tweak. Afterwards, 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.800 that wasn't the worst part. I played through it, obviously. 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.559 It was a championship game. Too much on the line. 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:07.840 Whatever. 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.440 Two days later, because I thought, you know, it'll get better. 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.360 You get these aches and pains as you get older, 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.120 no big deal. And I felt that before, but it's 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:15.920 gotten better a couple of days a week. So a 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.080 week or so later, two days later, I was in 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.040 the gym, even though it was hurting. I was like, yeah, 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:22.480 I got to get the session in. So I was 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.520 doing some hammer curls and the third rep or third 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.720 set of the hammer curls like fourth or fifth reps. 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.720 Felt like somebody came up and like stabbed me in 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.600 the elbow. Yeah, So took a couple of weeks off 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.160 from the gym to try to let it rest up. 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.359 I was like, okay, yeah, but it wasn't getting any 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.320 better at all. So you know, there's a line between 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:43.840 hurt and into resting and being concerned. I went right 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.320 past that concern horizon. So I went and got it 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.040 checked out earlier this week, couple of days ago. Two 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.000 partial tears and the tendons and the elbow. 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:56.560 So yeah, those before No I used my hips to throw. 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:58.800 So yeah, yeah, the transfer. 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.120 What's funny is what I say yesterday when I was 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:02.960 we were talking, we were talking, I say that was 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.040 on me because I didn't crow hop for that distance 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.880 I was. I really was trying to shoot four and 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:10.079 he was round and third. 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:11.440 I got no chance. 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.040 I had no chance, but I gave it all shoulder 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.480 and arm. I didn't crow hop to generate the power. 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.200 Number three. I have a number of things. 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.120 That are this wrong with the story right before we 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.120 get into news, and those number one that's the news 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.680 and number no. Number one, how did the ball get 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:28.040 behind you? Okay, you be playing back for he smoked. 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.160 It just just saying that's that's problem number one, he smoked. 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:31.880 The problem number two is you didn't usually blame it 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:33.120 on the picture ahead. 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.040 I'm not going I don't throw my guy. You didn't 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.960 get a jump on the back. I don't care get 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.240 a jump on the back got behind you. Number two, 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.000 you try to use your arm and not your hips. 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.160 I agree with the third part. Okay, okay. 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.840 Number three, you were doing bicep girls. 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.680 All right, Yeah, I can't say the last time I 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.520 did bicy curls, but you were doing bicy girls after 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:51.920 an injury? 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.040 Hammer and number four, how is that I am not 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:55.040 on this team? Huh? 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:56.960 I don't understand how I did not get an invite. Oh, 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.120 I didn't know you want to You're busy man. You 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:00.840 didn't know it's a basement. I know that you're a 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.000 baseball player, but I didn't know you still got down 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.520 with the get down like I still get down draft. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.080 Have you missed every celebrity baseball tournament we've had in 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:09.880 the past three years? 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:14.520 But that's celebrity turn for the Cowboys. I don't get 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:18.240 regularly that you're ready to get down, because I regularly 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.520 get down with the get down like two three times 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.920 a week. The first person I'm like, ea, sports, I'm 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:28.119 in the game, noted not it for spring. 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.520 Now you get into news and we just had to 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:31.040 addressed that. 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.000 Yeah, I got eight weeks of physical therapy, but I'll 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.880 be back for spring. No, that works because actually, since 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.520 this is Wednesday morning, Cowboys are back on the practice 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.800 field this afternoon, all news and notes are kind of 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:44.839 stalled for now because we talked about it yesterday. We 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.560 talked about the Josh Butler injury on the day prior. 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.279 So for all of those that are listening, which is everybody, 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.280 because you're cultured and you're smart, you're listen to Talking Cowboys, 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.680 play back those previous two episodes and you'll see what 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.800 the news and notes are. But we will have more 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.760 for you tomorrow after the Cowboys finish their first practice 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.000 to prepare for the Cincinnati Bengals this week. We do 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.000 know if there is at least a solid chance that 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.960 DeMarcus Lawrence sees his twenty one day practice window activated today, 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.520 That's what it looks like it's going toward. When you 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.480 listen to Jerry Jones speak. When you listen to Mike 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.039 McCarthy talk, when you listen to Stephen Jones talk, Let's 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.040 see if they do that. If so, he has more 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.840 than solid chance of returning to the field Monday night 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.360 football against the Cincinnati Bengals. 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:25.040 That's the key thing. 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:29.000 Ceedee Lamb's still on track to play. Jake Ferguson expected 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.080 the clear concussion protocol, but you got to be real 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.880 careful about that because you have no clue if that's 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.760 going to happen or not. That's not up to the team. 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.680 That's not up to the team's training staff. That's up 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:41.440 to the NFL concussion protocol and they're specialists. So for 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.560 that were just monitoring injuries, see who has a chance 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.479 of coming back and who's gonna still be out. 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:46.839 Isaiah question. 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.080 As we're going to talk about the Cincinnati Bengals offense today. Yeah, 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.880 I would like to know the most recent status if 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.320 anything's changed on your side in regards to Trayvon Diggs 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.240 and Kaylyn Carson. You know, Kayvin Carson is on ir 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.680 So that's that's pretty much that. 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:05.560 That's that. 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:11.039 That's four weeks all right, Well, that possibly possibly but 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.120 possibly dosignated for weeks, the way. 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:18.640 The math, plus the conversations I've been having surrounding Kaitlin Mary. 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:20.760 I think this is season season. 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.239 I think this is it season because keep in mind, 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.160 before they put him on I r I said right 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:26.960 in the seat, and I said, I'm not hearing great 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.839 things about the Kayln Carson showed the situation as far 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:34.000 as his how he's recovering from it, and then second 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.159 opinions and things like that, and then he had to 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.320 set back after a couple of games being activated. So 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.320 I think he's just shut down until next year. 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:46.000 At least we have Josh Butler right, No, because he's 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.680 on IR. 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.600 You will ideally before the season ends. He's down two 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.359 to three games with the miniscus. But that's that's a 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.680 blessing for one, Yeah, because it really looked bad with 0:06:58.760 --> 0:06:59.839 him getting carted off. 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.239 Trade and being physicious. Maybe it's bad. 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:02.720 You have Trayvon. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.920 Maybe they're speaking positively about Treyvon this week, and hopefully 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.480 you'll have for the first time as starters for all 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.200 three Jordan Lewis, Trevon Diggs, and Deron Blant on the 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.040 field at the same time, and you're going to need 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.360 it against the Cincinnati offense that we'll get into that 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.800 is absolutely nuts out. 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.040 Is that all you had for news and notes? 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.480 That comes to mind unless there's something I'm missing you. 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.960 Okay, So one thing I wanted to bring up from yesterday. 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:29.520 This is sort of at the end of the day 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.520 four thirty nine pm actually when the story broke, uh, 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:38.800 Dak Prescott Davin addressed Mike McCarthy and talk about Yeah, 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:39.560 I want to talk about this. 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:40.000 A little bit. 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.080 He said that he feels helpless. Obviously he can't fight 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.840 for Mike McCarthy and the extension, he feels that he 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.040 definitely deserves a chance, is what he said. 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:49.880 That's not the main part. 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.000 Another contract and a chance to coach this team. Amongst 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.200 more influence on his terms. 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:56.480 Was that again is Dak. 0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:01.760 That was the last part on his terms, Mike McCarthy's terms. 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:03.920 That's quote from QB one. 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.000 How do you feel about that? I mean, do we 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:07.920 like that Dak Prescott is finding for Mike MacCarthy. We 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.640 talked about it yesterday. If Mike McCarthy wins out the 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.560 rest of the season, you are obligated to bring him back. 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.840 Arguably, Yeah, you gotta love when QB one on any 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.960 team fights for their head coach, especially when their head 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.400 coach is doing so much to overcome so much. When 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.680 you talk about adversity that we were talking about yesterday, 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.200 and the fact that McCarthy, even at three and seven, 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.000 never lost this locker room, the locker room never fractured. 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:31.720 They were still bought in with him. They were still 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:33.800 working on buying in with the Mike Zimber defense, but 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.880 they never they were never not bought in on Mike McCarthy. 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.280 And then you know the personal relationship between Dak and 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.560 McCarthy and how close they are off the field. You 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.640 saw McCarthy make a B line and training camp and 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.040 Knox Snard to play with you know, Dak's daughter, Dak's 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:49.560 baby daughter. 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.920 So I mean you love to see that. 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.400 I will say this because Dak also fought this hard 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:55.280 for Jason Garrett. 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.080 If Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.880 Decide that this is the end for Mike McCarthy, really 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.360 doesn't matter how much QB one fights for him. 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.560 The end is the end of quest. But I will 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:05.439 say it does have some. 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.679 Weight Tommy in your experience. You haven't been here the 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.000 whole season. You were here for training camp, obviously, but 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.360 I want to get your thoughts on these comments and 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.800 see kind of what you're thinking, is how you interpret 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:17.920 dex comments from Misterday. 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.400 Yeah, I think me and no Se kind of think 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.839 the same way in terms of you obviously like to 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.760 hear that from your starting quarterback, and it's similar to 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.520 some of the stuff that we've been hearing from pundits 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.800 and talking heads and even guys like Troy Aikman around 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:32.600 the league in the last couple of weeks saying, Hey, 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.240 Mike McCarthy's a good ball coach and that record tracks. 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.199 I mean, everywhere he's been he's won. I think this 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:40.800 year when you look at it, I'm not trying to 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.760 make excuses for the guy or I think it is 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.800 inexcusable to be five and seven when you've been twelve 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.640 and five and three straight years. But when you look 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.000 at just the array of injuries that this team has 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.760 had and the cards that Mike McCarthy's been dealt, I mean, 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:56.840 to go three and seven and not lose the locker 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.160 room and somehow find a way to put together two 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.600 wins and five days of our division opponents, that to 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.559 me is something good that you can build off of now. 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:07.400 Is that enough to save. 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.560 His job if say they go three and two the 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:10.880 rest of the way or two and three. 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:11.920 I don't know. 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.839 But what I do know is that Micha McCarthy is 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.720 a good football coach, and I think that that's reflected 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.840 in how his players feel about him, how the locker 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.040 room feels about him, and just overall his coaching trajectory 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:23.560 in the past. 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.880 There's no doubt he's a great football coach. Iaiya, if 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:27.679 they don't win out, if they'd go three and two 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.839 or two and three, what are your feelings on mich 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:31.320 McCarthy's future here in Dallas. 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:32.520 I like coach McCarthy. 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.280 I'm gonna I'm gonna highlight one portion of Deck's comments, 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.160 but I think most people are just kind of blowing 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:43.319 by hey highlights choosing to grab that marker, Buddy, I 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:44.959 don't care what color highlight of you guys get, but 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:50.280 on my screener head here is blue. Okay, another contract 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.959 that's not the part and a chance to this is 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:57.679 where you get your highlighter. Out Coach this team, amongst 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:04.240 more influence on his terms may be a good way 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:09.479 to say it. Run that back, uh, coach this team 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:14.600 amongst more influenced. What what's what's coach McCarthy's title, Hey coach, okay, 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.160 so this is your QB one highest paid player in 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:20.600 the league, saying that the head coach of his team 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:26.760 needs more influence aka power decision. 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:33.320 Makers things like that, Okay, on his terms, he said it. 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:34.960 It may be a good way to say it. He 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:35.360 said it. 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.319 That was that was him pulling the e break before 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.280 he went all the way off the rail right there. 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.240 That He's like, he was like, I went too far. 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.520 The fast and furious, you know what I'm saying, a 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.959 little fast and furious that you know whatever episode twenty 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.360 little you turn that speaks volumes to me. 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:55.280 And I don't know we can really go on that, 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:56.839 but that that to me. 0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.400 Just you're feeling to it. You don't have to come 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.760 on as if he that Dak. 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.480 If I can read between the lines here, I know 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.040 it's not Friday. I'm trying to work into it, you 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.400 know what I'm saying. I feel as if he's saying 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:14.000 that Mike McCarthy doesn't have almighty power as a head coach. 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:18.319 He doesn't and that during his tenure. 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.760 He apparently from these comments, what I'm reading through has 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:27.320 not had the decision making power to do things his way. 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.400 In totality, which coaches do. 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:36.040 Belichick, are they currently coaching? I mean, that's another question. 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.680 I mean again, but a lot of times if the 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.400 head coach doesn't have full power, they have a lot 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.640 of it, you know, they have a lot of it. 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.160 And there's always a thing about you know, double j 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.920 mister Jones, you know, not giving up that title on 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:51.600 all those things. And I've always kind of thrown it 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.280 to the win, be honest with you, you know, because I'm 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.440 here a lot you guys are here more and I 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.160 just don't see his hand on every aspect. I don't 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:00.600 see him in the meeting room, don't see him doing 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.400 those things that everybody says about him. 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.120 So I disregard a lot of those comments. 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.200 But then when you have QB one come out and 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.080 say something like this, it kind of brings it back 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:11.439 to the to the surface, and it makes you wonder 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:16.160 what conditions has Mike McCarthy been coaching under and what 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:17.800 would have been different. 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:22.199 To date had he had had more power and influence. 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:26.920 You should the word influence to incite that the head 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.120 coach doesn't have the ability to influence the team the 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:30.880 way he wants to. 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:34.360 That's a major, but a major comment to me. 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.360 I don't think he's saying that he doesn't have influence. 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.600 No, no, no, say not say not influence. He said 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.640 more influence, which means that he does not have the ability. 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:44.400 That just QB one saying that he can't do what 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.720 he wants to do. He can't, not to a degree. 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.400 So I think it's okay, let me qualify. I don't 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:55.520 believe that there's a scenario wherein Mike McCarthy has zero influence. 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.760 That is not true. Okay, The question is how much 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.000 in thrust does he have? Because he has a good 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.520 bit of influence, but that's subjective. What does a good 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.319 bit look like as far as getting it in totality? 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.560 He doesn't. You're right, he doesn't have that. Will he 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:13.640 ever have it? No? Any head coach have it? Probably not. 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.640 Let's given example, if there was somebody on this roster 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:18.880 that he did not win on his roster, would he 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:20.760 have the power to say no? 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:21.720 Depending on who it is? 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:25.040 I suppose, And when I say that, let's say now 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:26.800 I don't want to say names, but let's say it 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.240 was a high profile position player, that Mike McCarthy was like, 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.000 you know what, I think it's time to move on 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.240 from this guy. If it's a high profile position player 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:38.120 who's still producing, probably get vetoed. And that's what I 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.360 mean when I say and that's always going to be 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.680 a head coach versus a front office decision, right, because 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.720 the front office is going to feel a way about 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:45.640 a particular player. 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:47.680 And go back to the Parcels era. 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.480 The player, okay, the player, you know who the player 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:55.520 was too, right, there was a distinct line drawn between 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.760 Parcels in the front office when it came to Toyo. Now, 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:02.240 ultimately Parceles got his way, right, But even Bill Parcells, 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.040 the Great Bill Parcells, who had achieved everything he had 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.480 achieved before he even got to Dallas, still had to 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.440 contend with ownership of the team. 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:10.880 Right. 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:15.000 So, whether it be McCarthy here, Garrett here, the next 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:18.280 coach here, a coach and since Zach Taylor and Cincinnati 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:22.560 or Mike Daniels in Miami, the coach is not going 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:24.800 to have unless your name is Bill Belichick, you're not 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.360 going to have totally. What about your ability to discipline players, 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.120 Now that that's a good question. If you get disrespected 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.080 by a player in this day and age, right, you 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.120 have so, Sam, So this is just throwing it out there. 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:38.920 What if I might get disrespected by players? Not that, 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:43.120 not that irish Pittsburgh guy. So, like I'm saying, but 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.040 if you have, if you were to have players on 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:49.320 your team blatantly disrespect you and your authority because they 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.520 understand that you don't have all. 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.280 Authority, what what position does that put you in as 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:54.760 a head coach? 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:59.000 Not great Bob, not great Bob, n GB all right, 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.720 but will take this conversation a lot more interesting the 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.280 more we win, because I want to see how this goes. 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:06.600 I want to see how this goes. I want to 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:10.600 see a winning arguably a winning record towards the end 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.400 of the season and see if this is even a 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:13.520 conversation later on. 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.520 I'll tell you what I think Dak was hinting at 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.400 more than anything is free agency. I think that's what 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.320 Dak was hinting at, more than anything. I think that Mike, 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.920 this is my opinion. I believe Mike McCarthy would have 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.600 loved to see bigger moves being made in this past 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.040 free agency wave, knowing he was going into a fifth 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.200 year approve it year for him right, And of course 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:39.040 the Cowboys did not. They pivoted on what their definition 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.640 of all land meant. And then Mike McCarthy went in 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.080 the training camp still looking for pieces on both sides 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:46.600 of the ball, including to try to build up for 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.680 Zimmer on the defensive side. So I think that's more 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.400 than anything what Dak is saying, give this guy. I 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.040 don't know if you're going to give him kart blotch, 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.000 but give him more control over saying and free agency. 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.640 I want this guy signed, this guy, get this deal done, 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:02.800 work it out, because then it's on the front office 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.120 to work out the contractuals. Is not for the head 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.119 coach to care about the salary count. It's for the 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.240 head coach to say, these are my needs. This is 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.040 where we all the deve batista give me what I 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:13.720 want type thing. So I think that's more so what 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:15.200 Deck is talking about personnel building. 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.160 We have to take our first break when we come back. 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.720 We have to start previewing the Cowboys defense versus the 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:20.480 Cincinnati Bengals. 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:21.119 I all want to. 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:25.000 I know it's tough. It's tough. More from talking Cowboys 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:25.879 right after this. 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:31.240 If you're looking for fresh American roasted coffee that gives back. 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:33.720 You need to head to your local grocery store and 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.800 pick up a bag of Black Rifle coffee. That's right, 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:40.080 America's coffee is now available in the coffee aisle of 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.480 a grocery store near you. Black Rifle Coffee Company is 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.280 veteran founded with a mission to give back to those 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.600 brave men and women who have served our nation. Every bag, 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.400 box or can you purchase help support that mission. Head 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.960 to your local grocery store and roast yourself some Black 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:56.840 Rifle coffee. 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:57.200 Today. 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:58.960 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.680 cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.800 bought online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.280 be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.680
